Thank you! Geez...it's amazing I can look right at something and not
see what's in front of my face.

So now it seems to have run *much* better. Just for the record, the
command line is:

bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" install --prefix=d:\boost > result.txt 2<&1

I get 24 sets of this:

**** spirit 1.6x required to build library with this compiler ****
**** skipping build of
<@boost!libs!serialization!build>libboost_serialization.lib; toolset=
msvc variant= debug ****

Variant is sometimes "debug" and sometimes "release". This is right
after the information about Python, so I'm guessing that I don't need
to worry about it. Then there's lots and lots and lots of lines
telling me about things that have been successfully compiled. But
there are a few line like this:

On and on for a long time. And there is this:

The final score is:

...failed updating 82 targets...
...skipped 60 targets...
...updated 4426 targets...

Do I need to do something else, or is this a reasonable result?
